The regular season is winding down in WPIAL softball as teams are down to a week and a half of section games remaining.

Much like high school baseball, some teams are now in catch-up mode because of covid-related issues while at least one program, Sto-Rox softball, has shut down for the spring.

The district is expected to decide early next week the makeup of the 2021 WPIAL softball playoffs.

Whether the top four teams from each section qualify as expected or open fields such as the basketball postseason, these teams listed below have secured a spot in the playoffs.

One thing that won’t change is exclusive coverage of the 2021 WPIAL softball playoffs on TribHSSN.TribLive.com
